Fluid motion can be analyzed using Lagrangian and Eulerian approaches.
The Reynolds Transport Theorem connects Lagrangian analysis to Eulerian control volume analysis, indicating conservation of properties.
Different flow visualization techniques include streamlines, path lines, and streak lines, each describing fluid behavior differently.
Focuses on individual fluid particles and tracks their properties over time.
Observes changes in fluid properties at fixed locations in space.
A fundamental equation in fluid mechanics that relates the change in a property within a control volume to the flux of that property across its boundary.
A mathematical statement that asserts mass conservation in the flow field, expressed in differential form.
A scalar function used in irrotational flow, related to velocity through the gradient.
A function defined for 2D incompressible flow; its contours represent streamlines, automatically satisfying the continuity equation.
